'lbe lios'esuppoi'ter imei" tbe well-known loop-zind-bntton einen, and es tbe prenent invention relates eeieiy to tbe biitien ineinber tbe loop member is omitted from tbe drew- Fig. is :ieeetininil View elt tbe v it bas hitherto been nere'ssfiry to new or otherwise secure tbe webbing in order to retsiin tbe button-pitite und button thereon in iny patented bose-supporter sueii sewing is net necessary; but in' preetiee it bas been iceiind desirable to rovide tbe end 01"' tbe tape or webbing wit 1.a metal tip in order to prevent Taveliiig and to )ferent tbe Said end. from drawing tbrougb tllie or eyes of tbe biitteinplate. By my present invention I save tbe expenseA of sewing er otherwise fais- 6 -teniiig tbe webbing in tbe forni e? supporters illustra-ted in Figs. (i and 7 sind. Save tbe ex# pense of tbe metal tip in tbe inrin of supportere 'ilbietrztted in F l und 2.

The buttoinpbite or button-base 8 and connected button Q- are et an ordinary con struction. lie webbing er tape A is in tbe mein ef en ordinii` 'jy' construction end is irst ent in te tbe desired length, and tiren the tip or end l0 is dipped into and coated or imbued with n liquid l'uin, glue, cement, or other ina.- teriail tbzit will burden in drying and is then' left to dry, tbereby producing tbe tipped tti e er w( bbing' illustrated in Figi. 3, in which t 1e 'lbrezids ron'ipi'ieing' this' ordinary soft and '.liexible webbing' are burdened :ind stuck te- ;etbzr or nnited'in tbe Said tip, wbieli is bnrdei' and stiilei tinin tbe rest'o'i tbe said webbing'. "Flint portion ot tbe tip wbieb iS tbns burdened by -tlie tipplieetion of ziliiirdenin;r innirrinl is represented by cross-lilies. 'ifbe lengrtb oi' tbe bnrdened tip should be :ibont tbe saine or :t little in exeess of tbe distzinife i'i'ein tbe lower to tbe upper eye of tlie biittmi-plziie.

'iibe prepared webbing', witb tbe dried and burdened tip li), bas its nntiiped or soit end .first tbrended iln'oiigb tbe lower eye ol'- tbe button -pinie QH ironi tbn. rezir und drawn :dong inti'l its passage tlnoiigb tbe said eye is in'resind by tbe burdened tip coming in eenmet 'wiib tbe reni' side oi tbe pleite; its illustrated in Fig. 5. iit tbe webbing is toeover tbe betten, it is tben'bzissed up over tbe button in iront sind ite soit end passed through tbe upper eye oi" tbe button-Piate from tbe IOO iront, tbeii down in tbe rezar et tbe burdened tir, and tbrengb tbe lower eye of tbe buttonup tightly to make the .several thicknesses lie closely together. The hardened end or ti) will prevent that end of thel web from ravelI ing and will also form an obstruction against the said end passing through the eye, so that the button-plate and 'attached button are lirmly and permanently secured to the w 1bbing. hardened tip the tip may be made longer than the ordinarymelal tip, tially eover the rear of the button-base, while at, the same time it is much lighter than a metal tip and is less bulky as to thickness.

ln the style of button member shown in Figs, 6 and 7 the same webbing is employed and substantially the same button and button-plate7 only the lhead of the button is made a little larger. The webbing is Afirst inserted in the `same manner as before and as illustrated down around the end oi" the button-plate,v up on the rear of the said plate, and through the upper eye from the rear and then upwardlj, as shown.

By the em}' loyment ol' the dipped and so as to substanin Fig. 5, after which it is drawn- The tipped end l() is so stifl and l hard that it will not draw through, and as it will not ravel the button-plate is securely i .and permanently attached Without any sewposition to prevent the tipped end of the web2 bing :from being drawn through the eye.

2. ln a hose-supporter or analogous artiele, the combination ol a plate having an eye therein, a sol't and flexible webbing formed of threads passing through said eye and having one end imbued with hardening material to form a tip which acts as a stop to prevent the webbing from being drawn through the eye.
